Before taking him to Eye Care for Animals in North Scottsdale, I called around and neighboring clinics were a tad bit cheaper averaging $1000. But the care Fischer received before and after surgery, the professionalism of the team and the ease I felt it was absolutely worth it. \n\nAfter lots of research and referrals to Dr. Urbanz I made him an appointment. Connie, the front office assistant was so incredibly nice on the phone and was able to schedule our consultation appointment the same week I called and then his surgery the following week. The procedure could have been done sooner had Dr. Urbanz not been out of town. So the time frame was great! \n\nThe initial consultation was very professional and received a multitude of tests to determine the current health of his eye while getting full explanations of the results along the way. A resident vet student was working alongside Dr. Urbanz and was able to learn and examine his eye! That always excites me! They both discussed the options and expressed what they believed to be best! \n\nScheduled his surgery for the following week. Dropped him off at 7:30 in the morning, received a phone call at 12:30 informing me Fischer was out of surgery and doing great and would be ready to get picked up at 3:45. \n\nThe pick up was very informative and done by the vet tech and Dr. Urbanz. Previously working in vet clinic, I was really impressed that Dr. Urbanz took the time to discharge Fischer and I never felt rushed despite her busy day. \n\nHe is recovering well and managing to move around in his cone of shame :)\n\nDefinitely recommend and thank you to the Urbanz team at the Eye Care For Animals North Scottsdale!"^^ .
